I just read that during pregnancy women produce more estrogen which makes head hair grow faster, I wonder does that work the same with us when we take it?

maybe but you should check with your endo doc  I would not adjust your meds on your own .  there is a supplement called
hair,skin&nails  made by futurebiotics  seems to work might want to give a try

I didn't mean I was going to do it I was just curious if any of you  had your grow faster since starting estrogen.

Estrogen is just a group of steroids. Estriol is the major estrogen that appears in pregnancy, as opposed to Estrone and Estradiol that make up the predominant estrogens in post and pre menopausal women respectively (keep in mind this is very simplified) and are given in hormone replacement therapy (generally as premarin for estrone and everything that isn't premarin for estradiol).

So it's probably not as simple as simply "increased estrogen", which is pretty vague.

yes my hair has grown alot while on hrt yea

I think it does affect hair....

As now I'm off it (HRT) till mid Sept.....(damn-n-blast).... I do seem to be shedding hair more than norm....
